Ning Dao Covered with Snow

Chapter 42 Help
The detectives rushed into the kitchen and began to search it inch by inch.

Jade Purity Immortal was politely asked to leave. She could not enter and could only stand outside the door and watch anxiously.

The cellar in the kitchen was discovered. A constable knelt on one knee and reached out to open the door.

When Jade Purity saw this, he immediately said, "That's where we store our food. It's been checked by your people just now."

Gao Dahai walked over and looked down into the cellar, only to find that it was pitch black inside.

He ignored Jade Pure Immortal's words and planned to search it himself.

True Man Yuqing wanted to stop him, but she knew that the more she tried to stop him, the more suspicious Gao Dahai would become.

She could only pray in her heart, please God, and don't let Ning Ci and Chao Lu be discovered.

Gao Dahai walked down the stairs into the cellar. He lit a tinder and looked around in the dim light. The cellar was very small, with bags of grain and several large jars of home-brewed pickles neatly stacked against the wall.

At this moment, Yan Ciwan and Chaolu squatted on the ground, hunched over and lowered their heads, sticking close together.

They had their backs against the wall, with food and vegetables piled up in front of them.

As the footsteps got closer and closer, they knew that Gao Dahai was walking towards them.

As long as he opened a bag of food, he could see the two people hiding behind it.

Chaolu was so nervous that her heart almost stopped beating.

She covered her mouth tightly to prevent herself from screaming out of panic.

Yan Ciwan felt itchy and painful in the wound, his throat was dry and he wanted to cough.

She bit her lower lip and tried her best to suppress the urge to cough. Her already dry lips were bitten and blood oozed out.

She licked the blood off her lips, narrowed her eyes, and pressed the hilt of the knife at her lower back with one hand, ready to strike.

At this time, she was still seriously injured and in very bad condition. It would be best not to have a head-on conflict with the government officials. But now everything was heading in the worst direction. She had no choice but to fight with all her strength.

Gao Dahai stretched out his hand, and just as his fingers were about to touch the cloth bag filled with grain, he suddenly heard shouting outside.

"Boss, someone is looking for you outside!"

Gao Dahai paused.

He took two steps back, looked up at the constable who was guarding outside the cellar, and said unhappily, "Who is it? Can't you see I'm busy now?!"

The constable explained: "The man claimed to be Xiao Liulang from Dongdu. His followers were beaten up nearby and their wallets were robbed."

Gao Dahai frowned and replied: "You can ask them to go to the government office. This kind of small matter can be solved by just finding a constable."

"They have already gone to the government office. Even the envoy was alarmed by this matter. When the envoy learned that you happened to be nearby, he asked you to handle the matter together."

Gao Dahai was furious. First, he urged him to investigate the serial rape and murder case, and then he forced him to catch the thief. No matter whether the matter was big or small, he was always asked to do it, regardless of whether he was busy or not.

There were so many people in the government office, but they just had to pick on him and take advantage of him.

It's because he has no background and no one to protect him, so all the hard work is pushed onto him. If he does a good job, it's his job as a matter of course, but if he doesn't, he will be punished and trained.

Even though he cursed in his heart, he had to listen to his superiors.

Money is hard to make and shit is hard to eat. Gao Dahai stepped on the stairs fiercely and walked out of the cellar with a dark face.

Hearing the footsteps fading away, Yan Ciwan and Chaolu secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

But neither of them moved, and after a moment, the footsteps returned.

"The detectives have all left, please come out quickly."

——Miao Lian’s voice!

The cloth bag and the jar were moved away, and Yan Ciwan and Chaolu finally relaxed when they saw that the person standing outside was indeed Miaolian. They had been squatting for too long, and their legs and feet were a little numb.

They supported each other and crawled out of the cellar.

There was no sign of the constable in the kitchen anymore. Miaolian was still terrified and said, "Luckily Xiao Liulang and Li Sanlang arrived in time, otherwise the constables would have found you."

Yan Ciwan asked about the whole story.

Miaolian didn't know all the details, so she could only tell everything she saw.

"Just now, Captain Gao and his men broke in. My master and I were so anxious. Just when we didn't know what to do, the gate of the Taoist temple was suddenly knocked, and two young men came in. They claimed to be the sixth son of the Xiao family and the third son of the Li family. Behind them was an official. The official told Captain Gao to go back as soon as possible, and then Captain Gao left."

Yan Ciwan asked: "Where are Xiao Liulang and Li Sanlang?"

Miaolian answered truthfully: "The detectives have just left. Master is entertaining Xiao Liulang and Li Sanlang in the tea room. The others are busy with their own things."

Yan Ciwan didn't understand how Xiao Wang knew she was here? And why did he get involved in this matter?

Is he trying to find his fiancée?

Miaolian continued, "Xiao Liulang said he wanted to meet Lady Ning."

Yan Ciwan also happened to have something to discuss with Xiao Wang, so she turned to look at Chao Lu and asked, "Do you want to go with me?"

Zhaolu hesitated for a long time, but finally nodded: "Yes."

She can't go back to the palace now, but Xiao Wang can go back. She wants to ask Xiao Wang to help take care of her mother.

In the tea room, Jade Purity Immortal was making tea for Xiao Wang and Li Chengge. She was sincerely grateful for their help.

Xiao Wang sat upright, and was very humble and polite in his attitude towards Jade Purity Immortal. His elegant and calm demeanor seemed to have the demeanor of a young man from a noble family engraved in his bones.

In comparison, Li Chengge is much more lazy and casual.

He sat cross-legged on a mat, his upper body tilted, one hand on his leg, the other hand on the edge of the table, his eyelids drooping, and he yawned from time to time, looking sleepy and ready to fall asleep at any moment.

At this time, Yan Ciwan and Chaolu walked in one after another.

Jade Purity Immortal first briefly introduced the identities of both parties, and then sighed with lingering fear: "You were almost discovered just now, which scared us. Fortunately, Xiao Liulang and Li Sanlang showed up in time and sent those detectives away, otherwise this matter today would definitely not end well."

Facing the strange man, Chao Lu was very frightened. She stayed close to Yan Ci Wan and kept her head down, not daring to look at Xiao Wang and Li Chengge.

She knew that this was very rude, but she couldn't control her emotions. Whenever she saw the strange man, she would be reminded of the painful experience after being kidnapped by the murderer.

Yan Ciwan expressed his gratitude to Xiao Wang and Li Chengge weakly.

Seeing that she was in low spirits, Xiao Wang asked, "You don't look very well. Is your injury getting worse?"

Yan Ciwan said softly: "I'm fine, I was just a little scared just now."

Chaolu helped her sit down so that she could rest for a while.

Li Chengge's gaze swept between the two of them.

He was originally quite curious about his future cousin's wife, but after seeing Chaolu's appearance, that curiosity disappeared.

To be fair, Chaolu looks pretty good, with almond eyes, a round face, fair skin, and a small stature. She is the type of girl next door.

It's a pity that he has a bad temperament, is too timid, and looks a bit stupid.

He didn't like this kind of vine-like woman, who was too weak and had to rely on others to survive.

But whether she likes it or not is none of his business, since he is not the one marrying her anyway.

Thinking of this, he felt quite bored and yawned again. He really wanted to go back to sleep as soon as possible.
